Rating: 4/5
Notes: Almost a bit too drinkable for a 9.1%’er 🙂 This will get ya if you don’t watch out. Very tasty with lots of orange flavor and not too much sweetness. From the can: “Our love’s bud goes full bloom when the city lights fade away, and we can make out the stars that create the great Cheeky in the sky”. ” Drink while smiling”
Happy New Year!
Can Art: Really dig the constellations and design on the can. Colors, layout, and fonts all pull it together.

Brewery: Abnormal Beer Company – San Diego, CA

Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Solid beer here. Easy to drink with lots of great flavor. It didn’t seem the “different” to me but it was good so that works for me. When looking it up on the beer web sites I see lots of people thinking this beer was called “Simply Different” which is their motto but I can see the confusion.
Can art: I like their logo but the can was a bit in the too simple side for me.
Drinkage: There was a date but it was a partial print on the edge of the can so I have no idea what the month or day was but it was 2018 so I got that going for me. ———————————–———————————–

Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Great. Such a good beer. Very tasty with my favorite citra hops. Very bright, citrus taste with plenty of hops. The cryo hops gives it a slightly more bright flavor for me. It’s a beer I can see a non-IPA fan liking.
Can art: Cool 450 North design.
Drinkage: 24 days after date on can ———————————–

Brewery IG: @block15brewing

Rating: 4/5
Notes: ? I feel I never told you ? Not sure if this is at all a Phish reference on purpose, and I doubt it is, but I’m going with it. Not my favorite Block 15 as there’s something in the tail end that throws me off but still a solid brew. Block 15 never disappoints.
Can Art: Sick can design. Really great illustration and moon.
Drinkage: The date on the can was cut off but I think it was 18 days from date on can.
